Title: asif replacing the window regulator clips isnt bad enough
Post by: mcgee9t2 on 26 April 2012, 20:08
not only do you have to get f**ked over by vw and spend £40 odd on about 8 parts when you only need the clips.

the little bits of metal left over from when the clips sh!t them self have decided to dig there feet in and put three or four big scratches of about 4 or 5 inch into my window. these scratches are very noticeable and literally a mm if not more thick so im going to have to buy a new window. not a happy bunny. anyone know the price of a front drivers side window from a scrappy?
